They use Growl and Leer, and he almost laughs as he faces the pathetic pokemon. Light glitters around him, and he feels no change in his stats. Of course people panicked when the changes started, but it’s better to go with the flow than fight the rising tide…

There is no point in denying the inevitable.

He spreads his wings, and hears their gasps of shock and horror. It matters little, as his fingertips crackle with lightning. Pikachu’s last gift…

Megavolt spreads through the ranks, and as they fall, he feels little regret, even though he should.

After all, these are the people he once tried to protect… he should have figured out the answer sooner – they were really not worth it.

He hears laughter behind him, and turns to see the others. Lance crosses his arms, Ptera’s wings folded neatly against his shoulders.

“Are you already finished, Red? It seems we came too late.”

He chuckles as he turns to his lover. “Don’t worry. I didn’t kill them.”

“Oh?” Lance raises a single coppery eyebrow. “If I did not know better, I would say you were trying to get me worked up….”

“What would you say if I told you that you were right?”

Lance’s grin turned feral, as the rest of the Elite Four chuckled.

“Might as well get in on the fun.” Lorelei purred, as her eyes began to shimmer.

Agatha nodded quietly. They tore through the remnants of the resistance quickly, attacks flying every which way. By the time they were finished, Bruno looked rather ill.

Red simply beamed at Lance as they kissed.

Smoke rose over the settlement, but it was not white – it was black.

White Smoke is actually a pokemon ability that prevents Stats from being lowered… yeah, didn’t match up this prompt too well, ne? And Red got somewhat merged with his pokémon, so he has Aerodactyl wings and so does Lance…
